The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:35 at Birmingham 2026 put Gemma Wheeler 186th of 547 women in the Open division, ahead of 66% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:02 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:07 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
