The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gary Waring finished 763rd of 1,401 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2025, in 1:23:28.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:43 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:54 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:33 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
