The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Luke Smith finished 1,808th of 1,917 men in the Open division at London 2025, in 1:53:49.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:01 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:08, behind 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London 2025 and London 2024 were 5:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
