The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Bleazard finished 137th of 365 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:18:14, faster than 63% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the farmers carry: 0:34 on the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:40 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 4:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
