The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Parkinson finished 802nd of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:46:24.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:34 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
