The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2025, Ben Vincent crossed the line in 1:18:05: 232nd of 639 men, faster than 64% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:48 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:13 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Cardiff ran slow: the 1,549 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:50 slower here than at their other races.
