The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Lunney finished 871st of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 2:01:54.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 5:57. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:54 better against the middle of the field than the first. 7:35 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
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.
