The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Bilbao 2026, Santi Sastre & Bernat Alomar crossed the line in 1:08:35: 403rd of 861 men's teams, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:12 of the median. A harder second half: 4:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Bilbao gained about 2:52.
