The race, in words
Chris Sills finished 327th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:29:21.
The sled push was the standout, 0:42 quicker than the median and 28th of 551. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:51 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:42 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.
