The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steven Tam finished 786th of 966 men in the Open division at Malaga 2025, in 1:33:01.
A station race more than a running one: 38% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:20 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 2:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
