The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Madrid 2025, Angel Garcia Mateo crossed the line in 1:15:33: 292nd of 1,312 men, faster than 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 52% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:34. A harder second half: 2:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Madrid 2025 and Madrid 2024 were 3:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
