The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Cerys Powell crossed the line in 1:25:39: 112th of 389 women, faster than 71% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:43 quicker than the median and 83rd of 389. The race faded late: the second half went 2:05 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:37, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
