The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Malaga 2025, Barry Mc Dermott crossed the line in 1:12:42: 241st of 966 men, faster than 75% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:41 on the median. A harder second half: 1:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2025 and Dublin 2024 were 3:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
