The race, in three figures
The race, in words
59:57 at Madrid 2025 put Mark Smith on the age-group podium: 2nd of 258 in the 35–39 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:14 quicker than the median and 11th of 1,312. Stronger after halfway: 2:37 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:19, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Madrid 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 1:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
