The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Malcolm finished 115th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:13:35, faster than 78% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 83% of the field across all eight, against 62% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:46, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
