The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:14:53 at Cardiff 2026 put Steven Sowter 101st of 365 men in the Open division, ahead of 72% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 82% of the field across all eight, against 56% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:04 on the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
