The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Clare Simpson crossed the line in 1:18:59: 30th of 253 women, faster than 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:46 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:27 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
