The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:25 at Birmingham 2026 put Cai Wells 561st of 1,442 men in the Open division, ahead of 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:58 quicker than the median and 216th of 1,442. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
