The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:57 at Barcelona 2026 put Sam Lyons 412th of 643 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 59% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 28% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Vienna 2025 were 1:54 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
