The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Robert Brown crossed the line in 1:21:40: 234th of 528 men, faster than 56% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 75% of the field across all eight, against 36% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:12 on the median. A harder second half: 1:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
