The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Daniel Valentine crossed the line in 1:19:49: 1,101st of 2,771 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 76% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:15 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
