The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Williams finished 839th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:53:31.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:38 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
