The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:26:04 at Birmingham 2026 put Elin Beardsmore 177th of 552 women in the Open division, ahead of 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 4:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
