The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2026, Mark Kirwan crossed the line in 1:14:27: 293rd of 1,158 men, faster than 75% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:32 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:51 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 5:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
