The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Ward finished 213th of 533 men in the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:15:05, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:41 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:23.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
