The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ed Pakenham finished 1,671st of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:27:16.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:21 ahead of the median. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:18. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:38 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
