The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:15:43 at London Olympia 2026 put Ben Howarth & Elizabeth Lancaster 87th of 203 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division, ahead of 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 36% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 16th of 203. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:22.
