The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Rudolph finished 1,063rd of 1,361 men in the Open division at Madrid 2025, in 1:35:16.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:07 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:39 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. 7:10 slower than at Cologne 2025, the previous Open race.
