The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tania Verzanova Downing finished 215th of 271 women in the Open division at Malaga 2026, in 1:42:43.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:44 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Malaga 2025 were 5:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
