The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:47 at London 2025 put Melissa Samms 1,014th of 1,368 women in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:59 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:45 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 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
