The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Grace Mitcham finished 169th of 351 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:30:47, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 27% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:38 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:21.
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.
