The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Malaga 2026, Matt Oliver & Claire Oliver crossed the line in 1:06:05: 97th of 842 mixed teams, faster than 89% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 99% of the field beaten on the stations, against 75% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 3:34 quicker than the median and 73rd of 842. A harder second half: 1:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Malaga gained about 1:52.
