The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Declan Smith finished in the top 10% of the field at Manchester 2026, in 1:05:51 for 33rd of 551 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:01 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:26 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:50, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
