The race, in words
Lorna Grant & Jennifer Wilkinson finished 578th of 904 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:29:34.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median. A harder second half: 1:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Birmingham gained about 1:50.
