The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Darren Sooprayen crossed the line in 1:19:23: 1,053rd of 2,771 men, faster than 62% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 73% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Excel gained about 1:33.
