The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:23 at Cardiff 2026 put Karen Menis 142nd of 253 women in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:48 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
