The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Bowler finished in the top 10% of the field at Malaga 2026, in 1:04:50 for 82nd of 1,036 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 31st of 1,036. A harder second half: 2:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
