The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:25 at London Excel 2025 put Matt Smith 1,056th of 2,771 men in the Open division, ahead of 62% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:12 quicker than the median and 194th of 2,771. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:55. A harder second half: 4:27 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Dublin 2024 were 4:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
