The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Donaghy finished 70th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:10:33, faster than 85% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 95% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:54 quicker than the median and 15th of 456. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
