The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Luke Sparkes finished 2,531st of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:49:27.
The wall balls cost the most time: 9:15 slower than the median. A harder second half: 10:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
