The race, in words
Sergio Gomez García finished 462nd of 596 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2025, in 1:30:15.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. A harder second half: 1:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 8:56 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Bilbao gave the field time back: about 0:51 faster than the average race this season, by 545 athletes who raced both.
