The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Walsh finished 1,031st of 1,917 men in the Open division at London 2025, in 1:23:27.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 29% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:31 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 4:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
