The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Sarah Smith crossed the line in 1:19:26: 90th of 552 women, faster than 84% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:30 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:19 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
