The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joe Pierce finished 1,834th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:28:42.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:48 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:09 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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. 15:19 slower than at Berlin 2025, the previous Open race.
