The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Byrne finished 282nd of 455 men in the Open division at Valencia 2025, in 1:30:51.
Legs and stations told different stories: 62% of the field beaten on the runs, 22% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:40 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Valencia 2025 and Barcelona 2025 were 1:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
