The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:59 at Birmingham 2026 put Samantha Ring 583rd of 887 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:57 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
