The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Jones finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:07:31 for 70th of 913 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:03 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:03 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:47, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
