The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:13 at Manchester 2026 put Sam Winter 164th of 551 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:35 quicker than the median and 117th of 551. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:36 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:50 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2022 were 3:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
