The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Ben Parry at Cardiff 2026: 1:07:17, 44th of 456 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:46 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:43 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:59, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London 2024 were 8:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
