The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Mary Oyewale crossed the line in 1:24:10: 138th of 547 women, faster than 75% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:16 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:41 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:16 faster at Birmingham 2026 than at London Olympia 2026, a quicker course than most.
