The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:59 at Valencia 2026 put Jose Miguel Continente Sánchez 646th of 898 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:58 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Valencia ran fast: the 667 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:08 quicker here than at their other races. 0:34 faster than at Barcelona 2026, the previous Open race.
