The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stephen Dicken finished 457th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 2:15:51.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 7:36. A harder second half: 8:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
