The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Claire Whittaker finished 215th of 400 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:34:58.
The runs carried this race: faster than 76% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 27% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 3:32 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London 2025 were 3:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
