The race, in three figures
The race, in words
TJ PHAIR finished 117th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:10:06, faster than 87% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 95% of the field beaten on the runs, 75% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:56 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:55 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
