The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:15 at Cardiff 2026 put Gavin Spence 765th of 913 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:34 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 Madrid 2025 were 4:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
