The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joe Spencer finished 1,550th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:25:32.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 23% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:03. The race faded late: the second half went 4:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Barcelona 2025 were 4:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
