The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Bywater finished 2,594th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:54:03.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:36 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 16:35 in the roxzone was slower than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
