The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Burrows finished 180th of 1,158 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:10:27, faster than 85% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 71% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:53 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:46, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
