The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Jessica Elsley crossed the line in 1:30:00: 251st of 646 women, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:38 quicker than the median and 102nd of 646. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:51 better against the middle of the field than the first.
That was 0:08 off the time at Copenhagen 2026.
