The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Rishi Paul crossed the line in 1:22:31: 1,311th of 2,771 men, faster than 53% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 63% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:48 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:15 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.
