The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alun Davies finished 213th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:10:00, faster than 85% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:34 quicker than the median and 229th of 1,463. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:26 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:50, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
