The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:30 at Madrid 2025 put Brendan Murphy 872nd of 1,312 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:55 quicker than the median and 259th of 1,312. A harder second half: 4:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Madrid cost the whole field time: about 1:27 more than the average race this season, going by 1,531 athletes who raced both. 13:23 slower than at Birmingham 2025, the previous Open race.
