The race, in words
Steph Jones & Llinos Jones finished 283rd of 399 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:31:07.
A station race more than a running one: 43% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:51 on the median. A harder second half: 3:17 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.
