The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rachel Barber-Brock took 2nd of 59 in the 45–49 age group at Birmingham 2026, in 1:16:32.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:46 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:20 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:21, ahead of 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
