The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Virginia Mesa Ivern finished 401st of 613 women in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:37:05.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 28% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:56 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Barcelona ran slow: the 493 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:52 slower here than at their other races.
