The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:56:42 at Manchester 2026 put DUŠAN MATĚJKA 1,377th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:13 behind the median. A harder second half: 11:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 9:27 in the roxzone was slower than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
