The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Bourget finished 1,784th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:28:57.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:32 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Geneva 2025 were 3:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
