The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Amber Nicolaas finished 106th of 351 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:25:09, faster than 70% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 88% of the field across all eight, against 44% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:08 quicker than the median and 38th of 351. A harder second half: 1:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
