The race, in words
Richard Rush finished 832nd of 1,401 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2025, in 1:25:25.
The farmers carry was the standout, 0:41 quicker than the median and 36th of 1,401. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:49. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:00 slower at Cardiff 2025 than at London 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
