The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bilbao 2026, Javier Porcel Zarza crossed the line in 1:08:44: 291st of 1,500 men, faster than 81% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. The sled pull cost the most time: 0:48 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 6:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
