The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Annabel HOWARD finished 826th of 887 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 2:06:23.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:25 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 11:14 in the roxzone was slower than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 2:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
