The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2025, John Mathews crossed the line in 1:17:12: 558th of 1,445 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 75% of the field across all eight, against 46% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:19 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2025 and Glasgow 2024 were 6:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
