The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ian Quartermaine finished 292nd of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:28:46.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:37 quicker than the median and 90th of 466. Stronger after halfway: 3:55 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
