The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Vernon-Stroud finished 999th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:31:31.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:37 ahead of the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:10 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
