The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Deborah Atkinson crossed the line in 1:20:33: 102nd of 552 women, faster than 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:05 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:32 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:30, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
