The race, in three figures
The race, in words
john paul dunne finished 499th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:59:07.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:41. The race faded late: the second half went 4:03 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:55 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
