The race, in words
1:23:11 at Malaga 2026 put Matthijs Veenendaal 282nd of 474 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:48 on the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Malaga ran fast: the 1,071 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:51 quicker here than at their other races.
