The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:49:29 at London Olympia 2026 put David Buss 573rd of 642 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:24. A harder second half: 11:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 8:52 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London 2023 were 7:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
