The race, in words
1:26:44 at Manchester 2026 put Tom Perry 293rd of 551 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:34 quicker than the median and 39th of 551. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:40 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:07 slower at Manchester 2026 than at London Excel 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
