The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ruth English finished 350th of 1,542 women in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:20:25, faster than 77% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:43 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 10:49, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Valencia 2025 were 7:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
