The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Andrew Cooper-Arce finished 884th of 1,106 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2025, in 1:35:09.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:41 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Barcelona cost the whole field time: about 1:00 more than the average race this season, going by 1,204 athletes who raced both.
