The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alejandro Ballesta Martín finished 174th of 299 men in the Open division at Bilbao 2023, in 1:22:37.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:24. The race faded late: the second half went 2:39 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Bilbao ran fast: the 181 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:14 quicker here than at their other races.
