The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Oliver finished 949th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:17:04, faster than 66% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:08 slower than the median. Time in the roxzone, 9:18, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
