The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Paul Rodgers crossed the line in 1:15:44: 779th of 2,771 men, faster than 72% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:50 quicker than the median and 694th of 2,771. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:01 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Amsterdam 2024 were 4:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
