The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:23 at Birmingham 2026 put Gemma Lyons 628th of 887 women in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 65% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 16% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:32 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 4:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
