The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Wilson finished 171st of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:17:07, faster than 68% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 146th of 528. Stronger after halfway: 1:39 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.
