The race, in words
1:38:11 at Cardiff 2025 put Karl Smith 1,184th of 1,401 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:33 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:00 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.
