The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Niamh Merrison finished 38th of 334 women in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:20:06, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:48 on the median. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:55, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 2:33 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
