The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dea Ditchfield won the 55–59 age group at London Olympia 2026 in 1:21:15, first of 13.
The runs carried this race: faster than 95% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:17 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
