The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Brian Thomson finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:03:56 for 21st of 456 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 61st of 456. Stronger after halfway: 2:44 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 2:44, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
