The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Joe Williams at Cardiff 2026: 1:04:27, 34th of 913 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:15 quicker than the median and 9th of 913. Stronger after halfway: 3:05 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 2:26, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
