The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:10:15 at Glasgow 2025 put Ben Strong 245th of 1,445 men in the Open division, ahead of 83% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 96% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:23 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
