The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at London Excel 2025, Sam Knowles crossed the line in 1:05:13: 76th of 462 men, faster than 84% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:03 on the median. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:41. Stronger after halfway: 2:03 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
