The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:11 at London Olympia 2026 put Damien Thomas & Nicola Pearce 575th of 887 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:19 from the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:22.
