The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jacob Fairbourn finished 1,388th of 1,401 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2025, in 2:16:41.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 10:46 behind the median. A harder second half: 9:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
