The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:25 at Manchester 2026 put Helen Shaw 65th of 146 women in the Pro division, ahead of 56% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:02 quicker than the median and 37th of 146. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:58 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:19 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
