The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:21 at Cardiff 2026 put Richard Sansom 157th of 528 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:58 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:57 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
