The race, in words
In the Open division at Valencia 2025, Simone Cardaci crossed the line in 1:20:26: 457th of 1,018 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:39 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:33 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Valencia ran slow: the 897 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:42 slower here than at their other races.
