The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matheus Tomaz finished 505th of 515 men in the Open division at Rio de Janeiro 2025, in 2:20:23.
A station race more than a running one: 40% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. A harder second half: 42:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:20, behind 93% of the field.
Rio de Janeiro ran slow: the 227 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:57 slower here than at their other races.
