The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ross Black finished 703rd of 1,445 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2025, in 1:20:16, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:47 on the median. A harder second half: 2:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Glasgow ran fast: the 2,108 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:54 quicker here than at their other races.
