The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, Sam Perkins crossed the line in 1:16:09: 233rd of 533 men, faster than 56% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:35 quicker than the median and 89th of 533. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
