The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joe Walker finished 879th of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 2:06:42.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 6:06 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:40 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 7:57, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
