The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Lythgoe finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:03:09 for 27th of 913 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:32 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:23, was faster than 99% of the field.
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.
