The race, in words
Simon Ord finished 297th of 462 men in the Pro division at London Excel 2025, in 1:20:36.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:15 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:34 better against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel ran fast: the 604 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:30 quicker here than at their other races.
