The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Madrid 2025, Martin Kirwan crossed the line in 1:17:51: 364th of 1,312 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 55% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:20. A harder second half: 1:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 2:44 slower at Madrid 2025 than at Berlin 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
