The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:09:03 at Glasgow 2026 put Neil Townsend 597th of 613 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 5:52 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 9:06 in the roxzone was slower than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
