The race, in words
Hugo Lewis & Rory Macdonald finished 176th of 207 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:24:27.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 1:41 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:41 in the roxzone was slower than 98% of the field.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:07.
