The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bethany Bell finished 226th of 391 women in the Open division at Malaga 2026, in 1:32:06.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:19 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:04 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:13 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
