The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2025, Richard Prendergast crossed the line in 1:13:42: 329th of 1,401 men, faster than 77% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:50 quicker than the median and 405th of 1,401. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:34 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:17 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.
