The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Cardiff 2026, Joe Wragg & Jason Giddings crossed the line in 1:09:50: 212th of 478 men's teams, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:41 quicker than the median and 61st of 478. A harder second half: 2:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff gave the field time back: about 0:39 faster than the average race this season, by 1,565 teams who raced both.
