The race, in words
1:26:38 at London Excel 2025 put Sara Williams & Lauren Thomas 887th of 1,599 women's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:00 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Excel gained about 2:24.
