The race, in words
Rosalee Cole & Jonathan Addis finished 493rd of 560 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:41:14.
A station race more than a running one: 30% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:21 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Birmingham gave the field time back: about 0:49 faster than the average race this season, by 1,559 teams who raced both.
