The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Phil Done crossed the line in 1:16:55: 935th of 2,779 men, faster than 66% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:59 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:47 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 1:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
