The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vesela Romanska finished 174th of 329 women in the Open division at Malaga 2026, in 1:32:04.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 32% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:49 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
