The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David ONeill finished 229th of 642 men in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:20:07, faster than 64% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. The sled pull was the standout, 0:40 quicker than the median and 173rd of 642. The race faded late: the second half went 1:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
