The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gareth Deacy finished 326th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:29:11.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:40. The race faded late: the second half went 1:05 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
