The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:40:50 at Birmingham 2026 put Laura Hemsley-Brown 382nd of 552 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:23 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:23 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
