The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Manuel Encina finished 282nd of 539 men in the Open division at Buenos Aires 2026, in 1:27:19.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:59. A harder second half: 1:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Buenos Aires 2026 and Sao Paulo 2026 were 5:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
