The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2025, Geoff Ryan crossed the line in 1:19:23: 442nd of 1,106 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:53. The race faded late: the second half went 4:51 worse 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. 3:10 slower than at Dublin 2024, the previous Open race.
