The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Wicks finished 277th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:27:08.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 7:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
