The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Summer Blackman finished 212th of 279 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:46:24.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:45 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
