The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sasha Pearson finished 181st of 231 women in the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:36:17.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 15% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:05 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff ran fast: the 152 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:14 quicker here than at their other races. That was 4:30 off the time at Utrecht 2025.
