The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Rowlands finished in the top 10% of the field at Glasgow 2026, in 1:04:44 for 58th of 1,452 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:13 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:05 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:11, was faster than 96% 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.
