The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gary Penrose took 2nd of 113 in the 35–39 age group at Rome 2025, in 1:03:49.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:18 quicker than the median and 53rd of 632. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:55, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 1:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
