The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jack Holland finished 698th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:38:09.
Legs and stations told different stories: 37% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:23 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
