The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:10:42 at Manchester 2026 put Chris Grieveson 232nd of 1,463 men in the Open division, ahead of 84% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:15 quicker than the median and 231st of 1,463. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:12 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:51, ahead of 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.
