The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Tim Newman crossed the line in 1:17:10: 158th of 456 men, faster than 65% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:09 quicker than the median and 27th of 456. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 0:46. Stronger after halfway: 2:26 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 4:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
