The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, David Owens crossed the line in 1:22:55: 176th of 365 men, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:48 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:58 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
