The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Heather Simpson finished 264th of 279 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 2:21:50.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 11:40, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 4:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
