The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Boswell finished 137th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:16:38, faster than 71% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The sled pull cost the most time: 0:48 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:29 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London 2025 were 2:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
