The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Craig Cooper finished 597th of 716 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:42:23.
Legs and stations told different stories: 43% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 6:33 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 8:04 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
