The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:23:30 at Cardiff 2026 put Matthew Smith 239th of 466 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:59 quicker than the median and 153rd of 466. A harder second half: 4:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
