The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Conor Restall crossed the line in 1:17:52: 1,018th of 2,779 men, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:38 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:33 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 6:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
