The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Selim El Sharnoubi finished 505th of 643 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:36:24.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:40 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Barcelona gave the field time back: about 1:27 faster than the average race this season, by 1,177 athletes who raced both.
