The race, in words
In the Open division at Rome 2026, Chris Sills crossed the line in 1:22:54: 476th of 1,062 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 71% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 41% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:15 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:18 slower at Rome 2026 than at Cardiff 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
