The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Claire Mcdonald finished 608th of 646 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 2:13:53.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 4:44. A harder second half: 7:04 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.
