The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jason Lomas finished 615th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:32:17.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The sled push cost the most time: 0:57 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:25 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.
