The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2025, Philipp Malfatti crossed the line in 1:18:47: 418th of 1,106 men, faster than 62% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:25 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:04 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:19 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.
