The race, in words
Victoria Smith finished 358th of 400 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:58:36.
Legs and stations told different stories: 26% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:51. A harder second half: 6:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
That was 32:45 off the time at London Olympia 2026.
