The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Mike Roche crossed the line in 1:09:50: 364th of 2,771 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:11 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:08 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 9:45, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
