The race, in words
Richard Ruddlesden finished 2,021st of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:31:47.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:14 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Excel gave the field time back: about 1:33 faster than the average race this season, by 3,460 athletes who raced both.
