The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lucy Smith finished 365th of 646 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:37:05.
The runs carried this race: faster than 63% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 32% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:25 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
