The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Thomas Gilbert crossed the line in 1:13:19: 582nd of 2,771 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 404th of 2,771. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:35 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Madrid 2025 were 3:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
