The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:53:29 at Manchester 2026 put Amad Afzal 477th of 529 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 7:29. The race faded late: the second half went 8:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 12:17 in the roxzone was slower than 94% 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.
