The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew De Cataldo finished 2,352nd of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:40:06.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:21. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. 17:06 in the roxzone was slower than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Barcelona 2025 were 4:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
