The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Burgess finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:04:37 for 17th of 365 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:29 quicker than the median and 15th of 365. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:18 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 2:35, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
