The race, in words
Tom Maughan finished 2,046th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:34:09.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:55 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel gave the field time back: about 1:33 faster than the average race this season, by 3,460 athletes who raced both. 4:11 slower than at Dublin 2025, the previous Open race.
