The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kelly Spence finished 425th of 547 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:49:02.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:36 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:28 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.
