The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2025, Brandon Thorpe crossed the line in 1:22:08: 356th of 795 men, faster than 55% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 91% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:37 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Barcelona ran slow: the 1,204 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:00 slower here than at their other races.
