Ty Jenkins runs 10K in 39:20 with a borrowed watch

Ty Jenkins has set a personal record on the 10K: 39:20. The athlete shared the news on Instagram, where he also explained the unusual circumstances surrounding the race.

On the way to the event, his watch overheated so badly that the battery completely died. In a last-minute solution, coach Matt stepped in and lent Jenkins his own watch for the race.

Jenkins publicly thanked his coach for the quick help. Whether the absence of his own device affected his performance, he leaves open. In his post, he does hint at a next goal: a PR on the bench press.
