The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at London Excel 2025, Nicola Holmes crossed the line in 1:16:18: 66th of 283 women, faster than 77% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 64% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:51 quicker than the median and 10th of 283. A harder second half: 2:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Excel ran fast: the 334 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:57 quicker here than at their other races.
