The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steve Gotham took 2nd of 12 in the 60–64 age group at Cardiff 2026, in 1:24:33.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:45 quicker than the median and 141st of 466. The sled pull cost the most time: 1:35 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:56 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
