The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, RICHARD WHIFFIN crossed the line in 1:10:22: 74th of 528 men, faster than 86% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:43 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:02 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
