The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rupert Beak finished 278th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:27:12.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:20 quicker than the median and 123rd of 466. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:20 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:37 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.
