The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Richard Smith crossed the line in 1:17:48: 938th of 2,771 men, faster than 66% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:08 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:52 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
