The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Neil Thurlwell finished 432nd of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:50:40.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:43. The race faded late: the second half went 4:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
