The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:11 at Glasgow 2026 put Chris McGowan 430th of 613 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 44% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 23% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:01. A harder second half: 2:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2023 were 5:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
