The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Norris finished 501st of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:25:52.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:05 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:56 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 1:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
