The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, Antony Rake crossed the line in 1:13:20: 178th of 533 men, faster than 67% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:20 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:12 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:13 slower at Cardiff 2026 than at London Olympia 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
