The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:22 at Manchester 2026 put Chris Watkins 767th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 32% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:52 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2023 were 9:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
