The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Phil Lewis finished 1,513th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:25:01.
If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:12 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:55 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
