The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Antonio Arana Méndez finished 1,203rd of 1,454 men in the Open division at Mexico City 2025, in 2:03:53.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:14 behind the median. A harder second half: 10:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Mexico City ran slow: the 879 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 6:40 slower here than at their other races. 5:15 slower than at Acapulco 2025, the previous Open race.
