The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Kirsty Cooper crossed the line in 1:33:27: 186th of 380 women, faster than 51% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 73% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. The sled pull cost the most time: 1:06 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:05 better 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.
