The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mikel Salgado Imaz finished in the top 10% of the field at Valencia 2026, in 1:02:21 for 16th of 504 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:39 quicker than the median and 23rd of 504. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:22, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Valencia 2026 and Bilbao 2026 were 2:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
