The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ricky Thomas finished 1,080th of 1,361 men in the Open division at Madrid 2025, in 1:35:52.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:47 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:41 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.
