The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Patrick Doyle crossed the line in 1:16:52: 148th of 466 men, faster than 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:08.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
