The race, in words
In the Open division at Madrid 2025, João Rodrigues crossed the line in 1:17:05: 426th of 1,361 men, faster than 69% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 55% on the stations. The sled pull was the standout, 0:38 quicker than the median and 302nd of 1,361. A harder second half: 1:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Madrid ran slow: the 1,531 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:27 slower here than at their other races.
