The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Tenerife 2026, Álvaro Melián Ruiz crossed the line in 1:24:16: 291st of 673 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 45% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 137th of 673. A harder second half: 3:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Tenerife ran slow: the 392 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 5:46 slower here than at their other races.
