The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Julie Pitts finished 878th of 887 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 2:47:38.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 14:36 behind the median. A harder second half: 20:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 12:15, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
