The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicholas Jaques finished 669th of 795 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:39:46.
A station race more than a running one: 29% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:16. A harder second half: 5:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a slow day in Barcelona. Measured against their other races this season, the people who raced here lost about 1:00.
