The race, in words
George Reeves finished 322nd of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:32:38.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 12% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff gave the field time back: about 0:39 faster than the average race this season, by 1,764 athletes who raced both.
