The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Smith finished 307th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:30:52.
Legs and stations told different stories: 52% of the field beaten on the runs, 18% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:00 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
