The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rich Smith finished 2,050th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:32:19.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:31. The race faded late: the second half went 2:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 1:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
