The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:32:25 at Birmingham 2026 put Simon Irvin 452nd of 646 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:18. A harder second half: 2:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
