The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:32 at Cardiff 2026 put James Ojidu 400th of 528 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 4:53 quicker than the median and 24th of 528. A harder second half: 3:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff ran fast: the 1,764 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:39 quicker here than at their other races.
