The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bilbao 2025, João Luis crossed the line in 1:17:45: 255th of 596 men, faster than 57% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 66% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2025 and Bilbao 2023 were 1:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
