The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Andrew Watson crossed the line in 1:21:08: 630th of 1,452 men, faster than 57% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:40 quicker than the median and 449th of 1,452. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:21 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2022 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
