The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Kerry Thompson crossed the line in 1:24:42: 145th of 547 women, faster than 74% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 92% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 50% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:03 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
