The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Surridge finished 359th of 533 men in the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:24:14.
Legs and stations told different stories: 54% of the field beaten on the runs, 22% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:41 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:13 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
