The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Marianne Speed crossed the line in 1:22:38: 52nd of 279 women, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:54 quicker than the median and 31st of 279. Stronger after halfway: 4:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
