The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jacob Smith finished in the top 10% of the field at Malaga 2026, in 1:05:21 for 92nd of 1,036 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:32 quicker than the median and 69th of 1,036. Stronger after halfway: 1:58 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:22, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
