The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Watkins finished 521st of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:26:50.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:30 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:56. The race faded late: the second half went 3:48 worse 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.
