The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rebecca Jones finished 189th of 532 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:27:25, faster than 65% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 75% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 50% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:45, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:31 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
