The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Oliver Baker finished 184th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:19:31, faster than 60% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:55 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:07 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
