The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Barry finished 2,108th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:35:25.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:42 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 3:02 faster at London Excel 2025 than at Birmingham 2025, a quicker course than most.
