The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Lloyd finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:07:35 for 32nd of 365 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 97% of the field beaten on the stations, against 77% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:30 quicker than the median and 14th of 365. Stronger after halfway: 1:20 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
