The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Pickett finished 116th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:15:32, faster than 75% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:27 quicker than the median and 111th of 466. Stronger after halfway: 2:51 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.
