The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Ball finished 1,400th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:23:35.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:45 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:21 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
