The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Batt took 2nd of 145 in the 40–44 age group at Cardiff 2026, in 1:03:16.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:52 quicker than the median and 26th of 913. Stronger after halfway: 2:50 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 2:40, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
