The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Samuel Jackson finished 2,047th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:32:17.
Legs and stations told different stories: 53% of the field beaten on the runs, 18% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:53. The race faded late: the second half went 1:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
