The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:02:17 at Birmingham 2026 put Andrew Smyth 647th of 677 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 8:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 8:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 9:37 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
