The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jill Bowes finished 242nd of 646 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:29:38, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:52 quicker than the median and 129th of 646. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:14 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
