The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Sarah Bracey crossed the line in 1:19:39: 35th of 279 women, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:43 quicker than the median and 44th of 279. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:25 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:55, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
