The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Mark Giles crossed the line in 1:10:10: 55th of 466 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:45 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:59 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 2:57, ahead of 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
