The race, in words
1:45:19 at London Olympia 2026 put Paula O'Rourke 408th of 581 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:09, was faster than 87% of the field.
London Olympia gave the field time back: about 1:28 faster than the average race this season, by 1,083 athletes who raced both.
