The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2025, Mitchell Hobbs crossed the line in 1:21:21: 659th of 1,401 men, faster than 53% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:44 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:40 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 1:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
