The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Dan Phillis crossed the line in 1:09:15: 374th of 2,779 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 73% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:46 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 9:12, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Bilbao 2025 were 2:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
