The race, in words

The stations carried this race: faster than 80% of the field across all eight, against 32% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 86th of 887. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:26 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Lisboa 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 3:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
