The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:37 at London Excel 2025 put Hugh Smith 2,368th of 2,771 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:54 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:21 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.
