The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ignacio Vela finished 1,103rd of 1,158 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:50:33.
A station race more than a running one: 31% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 6:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 8:51, behind 89% of the field.
Barcelona ran fast: the 1,177 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:27 quicker here than at their other races.
