The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:01 at Cardiff 2026 put Daniel Compton 343rd of 466 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 5:03 on the median. A harder second half: 6:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff ran fast: the 1,764 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:39 quicker here than at their other races.
