The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Walmsley finished 863rd of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:16:45, faster than 69% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 80% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 54% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:55 ahead of the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:11 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
