The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Nick Thomas crossed the line in 1:15:12: 740th of 2,771 men, faster than 73% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:35 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 1:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
