The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lucy Williams finished 186th of 748 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:24:25, faster than 75% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 87% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:28, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 1:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
