The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Hallett finished 1,836th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:29:50.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:45. A harder second half: 2:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Excel gave the field time back: about 1:33 faster than the average race this season, by 3,460 athletes who raced both.
