The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Brett Peel crossed the line in 1:19:50: 614th of 1,463 men, faster than 58% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 72% of the field across all eight, against 48% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:03 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
