The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:33:57 at London Excel 2025 put Michael Simpson 2,033rd of 2,771 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:18 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:25 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
