The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nick Astley finished 161st of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:08:30, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:42 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:04 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:46, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
