The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jack Metcalfe finished 440th of 613 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:36:18.
Legs and stations told different stories: 42% of the field beaten on the runs, 20% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:02. The race faded late: the second half went 1:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
