The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vicky Richards finished 283rd of 400 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:43:18.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:44. A harder second half: 3:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
