The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Madrid 2025, Finola Mcateer crossed the line in 1:29:13: 246th of 697 women, faster than 65% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:47 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 3:39 slower at Madrid 2025 than at Dublin 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
