The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Lane finished 112th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:14:12, faster than 75% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:53 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:00, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
