The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James O’Rourke finished 521st of 898 men in the Open division at Dublin 2025, in 1:24:51.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:37 on the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Dublin 2025 and Malaga 2025 were 2:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
