The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sophie Bloomfield finished 710th of 829 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:54:07.
Legs and stations told different stories: 35% of the field beaten on the runs, 8% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 4:07 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:39 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.
