The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Grant Polson finished 197th of 1,401 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2025, in 1:10:06, faster than 86% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:01 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2025 and London 2025 were 1:00 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
