The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Michael brockbank crossed the line in 1:18:05: 182nd of 528 men, faster than 66% of the field.
The sled push cost the most time: 0:45 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:07 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 2:52, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
