The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Grant Nixon finished 539th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:27:29.
The runs carried this race: faster than 71% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 26% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 5:22 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:25 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2024 were 11:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
