The race, in words
1:26:19 at Cardiff 2026 put Emily Padfield & Joanna Ward 440th of 862 women's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:57 quicker than the median and 67th of 862. A harder second half: 3:42 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.
