The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nikesh Patel finished 1,626th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:26:41.
The runs carried this race: faster than 52% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 32% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:39 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
