The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marc Ballbe finished 990th of 1,158 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:38:35.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:01 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
