The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Philip Sumner finished 1,709th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:26:58.
Legs and stations told different stories: 53% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:45 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 7:33 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Paris 2024 were 8:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
