The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lloyd Davies finished 200th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:19:08, faster than 62% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:58 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Oslo 2025 were 5:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
