The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Esme Archer crossed the line in 1:31:08: 157th of 380 women, faster than 59% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 92% of the field across all eight, against 28% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:02 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 1:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
