The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Samuel Cowley crossed the line in 1:10:20: 221st of 1,463 men, faster than 85% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:28 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:46, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
