The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ed Barber finished 135th of 795 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:12:48, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 70% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:31 on the median. A harder second half: 3:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a slow day in Barcelona. Measured against their other races this season, the people who raced here lost about 1:00.
