The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2025, Sam Gardner crossed the line in 1:22:02: 950th of 1,917 men, faster than 50% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 62% of the field across all eight, against 36% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 0:41 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London 2025 and London 2024 were 5:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
