The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:41:53 at Madrid 2025 put Dean Roberts 1,095th of 1,312 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:11 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 3:23 faster at Madrid 2025 than at Marseille 2024, a quicker course than most.
