The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rhiannon Jones-Tovey finished 252nd of 351 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:41:30.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:06 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:55 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
4:52 slower than at London Olympia 2026, the previous Open race.
