The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Sam Reeve crossed the line in 1:12:54: 177th of 913 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 94% of the field across all eight, against 55% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:39 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:48 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
