The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2025, Sophie Malyon crossed the line in 1:21:23: 48th of 264 women, faster than 82% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 68% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:45 quicker than the median and 32nd of 264. The race faded late: the second half went 1:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Barcelona cost the whole field time: about 0:52 more than the average race this season, going by 492 athletes who raced both.
