The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Robin Davies finished 258th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:25:39.
The runs carried this race: faster than 56% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 34% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:43. A harder second half: 2:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
