The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:07 at London Excel 2025 put Martin Orford 2,259th of 2,771 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:52. The race faded late: the second half went 2:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 1:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
