The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Mitchell finished 74th of 365 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:12:22, faster than 80% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 100th of 365. Stronger after halfway: 2:35 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 4:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
