The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Lois James crossed the line in 1:28:29: 513th of 1,379 women, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 47% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:10. The race faded late: the second half went 2:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
