The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, Jo Smith crossed the line in 1:12:14: 48th of 280 women, faster than 83% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:44 quicker than the median and 32nd of 280. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
