The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:01:54 at Cardiff 2026 put David Burgess 502nd of 528 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:45 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 14:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
