The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dave Bell finished 208th of 467 men in the Pro division at London Excel 2025, in 1:13:37, faster than 56% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 71% of the field beaten on the runs, 43% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:06. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
