The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ahmed Rateb finished 1,441st of 1,500 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2026, in 1:49:53.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:20 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:24 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 9:20 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 6:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
