The race, in words
Even Poltan finished 268th of 596 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2025, in 1:18:16, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:17 on the median. A harder second half: 2:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Bilbao gave the field time back: about 0:51 faster than the average race this season, by 545 athletes who raced both.
