The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Smith finished 234th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:24:29.
The wall balls cost the most time: 1:43 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
