The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Neil Emslie crossed the line in 1:16:39: 852nd of 2,771 men, faster than 69% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 293rd of 2,771. The race faded late: the second half went 2:29 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Gdansk 2025 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
