The race, in words
Victoria Birch finished 198th of 317 women in the Open division at Warsaw 2025, in 1:34:01.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:35 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:49 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Warsaw gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 367 athletes who raced both. That was 6:50 off the time at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024.
