The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Amy Smith finished 716th of 829 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:55:18.
The stations carried this race: faster than 33% of the field across all eight, against 5% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:38. The race faded late: the second half went 1:04 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 1:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
