The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Adam Mahagan finished 239th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:22:01, faster than 55% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 65% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The sled push cost the most time: 1:40 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:41 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
