The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:28 at Birmingham 2026 put Karen Menis 363rd of 552 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 145th of 552. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
