The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:40:47 at Cardiff 2026 put Alma Ruiz 174th of 253 women in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:11 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
