The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:47 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:02 better against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel ran fast: the 3,460 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:33 quicker here than at their other races. 0:51 slower than at Dublin 2025, the previous Open race.
