The race, in words
1:40:22 at Birmingham 2026 put John Cowan 1,099th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 0:31 quicker than the median and 547th of 1,442. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:29 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:20 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
