The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Wharton finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2026, in 1:08:48 for 89th of 913 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:16 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:10 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
