The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:55 at Manchester 2026 put Aidan Boland 891st of 1,463 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 49% of the field beaten on the runs, 26% on the stations. The sled push cost the most time: 1:28 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
