The race, in words
Ilja Daane & Ouafila Tighadouini finished 429th of 579 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:33:00.
A station race more than a running one: 59% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:17 from the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Barcelona gave the field time back: about 1:34 faster than the average race this season, by 750 teams who raced both.
