The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, John Seaward crossed the line in 1:23:10: 432nd of 913 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 40% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:44 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:16.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
