The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, Elaine Hughes crossed the line in 1:22:21: 90th of 231 women, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:18 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
