The race, in words
Simon Kidney finished 512th of 639 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2025, in 1:36:23.
The sled push was the standout, 0:33 quicker than the median and 100th of 639. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:03 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:08 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. 0:34 faster than at Glasgow 2025, the previous Open race.
