The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Pickard finished 892nd of 913 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 2:13:58.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 8:56. The race faded late: the second half went 11:52 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 7:39 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2024 were 11:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
