The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Sam Morley crossed the line in 1:19:43: 1,178th of 2,779 men, faster than 58% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:30 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:20 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Excel gained about 1:33. That was 2:11 off the time at Dublin 2025.
