The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:04 at Cardiff 2026 put Simon Oakden 345th of 528 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:49 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 3:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
