The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Smith finished 529th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:11:26, faster than 81% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:38 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:29 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 9:29, was faster than 87% of the field.
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.
