The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:00 at Manchester 2026 put John Daly 928th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:27 on the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:31 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
