The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Oslo 2026, Ian Jones crossed the line in 1:16:43: 223rd of 871 men, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 54% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:54 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:31 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Oslo 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
