The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:48:15 at Birmingham 2026 put caroline povey 438th of 552 women in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 38% of the field across all eight, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
