The race, in words
Bethany Costello finished 465th of 532 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:54:32.
Legs and stations told different stories: 25% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:04. The race faded late: the second half went 3:39 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:31 slower at Birmingham 2023 than at Glasgow 2023, which makes this time better than it looks.
