The race, in words
Niamh Sultana & Mia Anthony finished 268th of 430 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:29:44.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:30 quicker than the median and 95th of 430. A harder second half: 1:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cardiff gave the field time back: about 1:05 faster than the average race this season, by 1,590 teams who raced both.
