The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Laura O'Donoghue finished 114th of 545 women in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:24:24, faster than 79% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 56% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:42 on the median. A harder second half: 1:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Barcelona gave the field time back: about 1:31 faster than the average race this season, by 540 athletes who raced both.
