The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicola Armstrong finished 156th of 825 women in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:20:29, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:58 quicker than the median and 90th of 825. A harder second half: 1:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
