The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Daniel Gilmour crossed the line in 1:18:05: 1,035th of 2,779 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:08 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:18 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Glasgow 2024 were 6:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
