The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kieran Lilley finished 187th of 365 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:23:42.
The stations carried this race: faster than 72% of the field across all eight, against 31% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:01 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better 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.
