The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Albert Toulson crossed the line in 1:19:03: 199th of 528 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:32 quicker than the median and 186th of 528. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:59 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
