The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gemma Rous finished 32nd of 280 women in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:10:30, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:19 on the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:36, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
