The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emmanuel Stroch finished 357th of 549 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:28:02.
Legs and stations told different stories: 53% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:30 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:23 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Barcelona gained about 1:27. That was 4:06 off the time at Malaga 2026.
