The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Karen Friels finished 1,019th of 1,542 women in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:36:29.
The runs carried this race: faster than 55% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:47 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
