The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Russell Smith finished 422nd of 1,588 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2025, in 1:14:33, faster than 73% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:18 of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2025 and London 2024 were 3:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
