The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Melody Thomas finished 166th of 1,356 men in the Open division at Vienna 2025, in 1:04:54, faster than 88% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 95% of the field beaten on the runs, 70% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:51 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:58, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Vienna 2025 and Manchester 2024 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
