The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nathan Williams finished 805th of 1,106 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:31:43.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 2:05. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:41 better 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.
