The race, in words
Clare Smith finished 94th of 173 women in the Pro division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:26:10.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. Stronger after halfway: 1:09 better against the middle of the field than before it. The roxzone cost time: 9:50, behind 92% of the field.
Barcelona gave the field time back: about 2:14 faster than the average race this season, by 110 athletes who raced both. 2:15 faster than at Cardiff 2026, the previous Pro race.
