The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Ricardo Pillay crossed the line in 1:20:09: 1,212th of 2,779 men, faster than 56% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 78% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:16. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Bordeaux 2025 were 1:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
