The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Shiel finished 265th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:11:33, faster than 82% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 94% of the field across all eight, against 63% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:40 quicker than the median and 78th of 1,463. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London 2024 were 3:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
