The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:06:45 at Cardiff 2026 put Simon Hornby on the age-group podium: 2nd of 70 in the 40–44 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:52 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:12 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
