The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Colm O'Reilly finished 393rd of 549 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:30:22.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:55 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Barcelona ran fast: the 1,177 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:27 quicker here than at their other races.
