The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rome 2026, Matthew Byrne crossed the line in 1:12:38: 98th of 535 men, faster than 82% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:56 quicker than the median and 34th of 535. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:49 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
