The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:29 at Cardiff 2026 put Laura Catford 275th of 646 women in the Open division, ahead of 57% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 46% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
