The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, David Burgess crossed the line in 1:09:44: 415th of 2,779 men, faster than 85% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 94% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 71% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 9:29, was faster than 87% of the field.
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.
