The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Denis Petitprez finished 371st of 643 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:27:00.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:32 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
