The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Barber won the 30–34 age group at Cardiff 2026 in 1:01:18, first of 94.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:46 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:48 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 2:31, ahead of 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 1:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
