The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Craig Jones finished 180th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:18:51, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 0:30 quicker than the median and 191st of 466. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:31 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
