The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Sarah Michael crossed the line in 1:23:33: 55th of 253 women, faster than 78% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 68% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:15 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
