The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Cottrell finished 427th of 547 men in the Open division at Malaga 2024, in 1:34:25.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:23 slower than the median. A harder second half: 6:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Malaga ran fast: the 351 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:48 quicker here than at their other races.
