The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Niamh Curtin crossed the line in 1:23:03: 206th of 829 women, faster than 75% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:55 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:17, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2025 were 1:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
