The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:55:34 at Cardiff 2026 put David Jones 433rd of 456 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 22% of the field beaten on the stations, against 2% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 3:18. Stronger after halfway: 1:22 better against the middle of the field than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Cardiff gained about 0:39. That was 30:00 off the time at Stuttgart 2024.
