The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:50 at London Excel 2025 put Melanie Banham 277th of 1,379 women in the Open division, ahead of 80% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 10:40, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 3:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
