The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:49:57 at Birmingham 2026 put Gurvinder Boparai 1,214th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:52. A harder second half: 7:04 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.
