The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:08 at Cardiff 2026 put Ryan Griffiths 369th of 456 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:32 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 6:13, behind 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
