The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dave Overton finished 2,273rd of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:39:28.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 4:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 6:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
