The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Conor O'Riain finished 509th of 527 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2024, in 1:55:44.
A station race more than a running one: 29% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:13. The race faded late: the second half went 3:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Bilbao gave the field time back: about 1:06 faster than the average race this season, by 283 athletes who raced both. 12:14 slower than at Frankfurt 2023, the previous Open race.
