The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Paul Dent crossed the line in 1:18:18: 1,049th of 2,779 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:51 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:39 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
