The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stuart Appelby finished 2,528th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:47:01.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 5:11. A harder second half: 2:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 15:21 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
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.
