The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Francisco Mesa finished 659th of 795 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:39:10.
Legs and stations told different stories: 35% of the field beaten on the runs, 11% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:06 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:05 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.
