The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonny Gallagher finished 549th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:28:06.
Legs and stations told different stories: 62% of the field beaten on the runs, 30% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:08. The race faded late: the second half went 3:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
