The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Geoff Bloom-Hill crossed the line in 1:17:01: 884th of 2,771 men, faster than 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 51% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Excel ran fast: the 3,460 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:33 quicker here than at their other races.
