The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew O’Boyle finished 1,227th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:21:33, faster than 56% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:55 on the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:45 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
