The race, in words
Peter Gaynor finished 851st of 966 men in the Open division at Malaga 2025, in 1:39:01.
Legs and stations told different stories: 28% of the field beaten on the runs, 6% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 4:30 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Malaga ran fast: the 969 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:12 quicker here than at their other races.
