The race, in words
Edward Draper finished 236th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:24:31.
A station race more than a running one: 60% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:48 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Cardiff gained about 0:39.
