The race, in words
Carlota Gómez Ruiz finished 87th of 438 women in the Open division at Bilbao 2026, in 1:18:52, faster than 80% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:29 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Bilbao gave the field time back: about 2:36 faster than the average race this season, by 197 athletes who raced both.
