The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Iñigo Sarasola finished 384th of 1,500 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2026, in 1:10:49, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 55% on the stations. A harder second half: 2:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:30, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 6:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
