The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Edward Hickling finished 429th of 795 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:25:40.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:15 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Barcelona ran slow: the 1,204 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:00 slower here than at their other races.
