The race, in words
1:27:07 at London Excel 2025 put David Bales 1,728th of 2,779 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 52% of the field beaten on the runs, 29% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:47 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:56 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel ran fast: the 3,460 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:33 quicker here than at their other races. That was 0:43 off the time at Dublin 2025.
