The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2026, Samson Brown crossed the line in 1:09:57: 67th of 549 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:20 quicker than the median and 18th of 549. Stronger after halfway: 2:22 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:34, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
