The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Josh Butten finished 1,052nd of 1,500 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2026, in 1:25:24.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:20 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
