The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Laura Shepherd crossed the line in 1:25:47: 114th of 400 women, faster than 72% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:05 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:01 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
That was 2:39 off the time at Manchester 2024.
