The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:57 at Birmingham 2026 put Michael Bolger 560th of 693 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:02. A harder second half: 3:40 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.
