The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, OLLY POOLE crossed the line in 1:23:19: 180th of 365 men, faster than 51% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:13 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:06. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
