The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lee Williams finished 391st of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:42:52.
The stations carried this race: faster than 43% of the field across all eight, against 12% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 4:51 quicker than the median and 1st of 456. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 4:48.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
