The race, in three figures
The race, in words
andrew bell finished in the top 10% of the field at Manchester 2026, in 1:09:12 for 57th of 551 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:48 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:11 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:56, ahead of 88% 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.
