The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Harry Richards crossed the line in 1:13:45: 694th of 2,779 men, faster than 75% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:45 quicker than the median and 271st of 2,779. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:18. A harder second half: 3:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
