The race, in words
1:27:23 at London 2025 put Alex Middleton 1,226th of 1,917 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:08 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:13 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London gave the field time back: about 1:32 faster than the average race this season, by 1,383 athletes who raced both.
