The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Louisa Hone finished 419th of 545 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:50:44.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:45. A harder second half: 4:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 11:26 in the roxzone was slower than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
