The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Dean won the 45–49 age group at Manchester 2026 in 1:00:06, first of 98.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:52 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:02 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:23, ahead of 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
