The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:26 at Cardiff 2026 put Leah Hopton 113th of 231 women in the Pro division, ahead of 51% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:24. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
