The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2025, Darren Taylor crossed the line in 1:17:36: 579th of 1,445 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:57 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:43 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2025 and Manchester 2024 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
