The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Joannou finished 440th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:42:42.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:41 quicker than the median and 98th of 528. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 5:36 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 10:40 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
