The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Smith finished 273rd of 1,588 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2025, in 1:11:24, faster than 83% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 66% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 362nd of 1,588. Stronger after halfway: 1:46 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2025 and Madrid 2024 were 6:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
