The race, in three figures
The race, in words
G Cruz finished 434th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:41:16.
Legs and stations told different stories: 34% of the field beaten on the runs, 12% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 6:02 slower than the median. A harder second half: 10:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
