The race, in words
Daniel Pountney finished in the top 10% of the field at Cardiff 2025, in 1:03:00 for 27th of 1,401 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:02 quicker than the median and 77th of 1,401. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:00 slower at Cardiff 2025 than at London 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
