The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Raymond Leung crossed the line in 1:19:35: 202nd of 551 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:04 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:39 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Manchester ran slow: the 1,766 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:21 slower here than at their other races.
