The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Bullitt finished 397th of 549 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:31:02.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:08. A harder second half: 4:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Barcelona ran fast: the 1,177 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:27 quicker here than at their other races.
