The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Elliott finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:08:09 for 76th of 913 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:53 quicker than the median and 86th of 913. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:38, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
