"Time", as in a Race?

Question

What word would one use to describe a "time" as in "my time in a race"? The SpanishDict definition of "tiempo" does not include it in this sense, nor does the entry for "time"...

Cómo se dice "time" como en una carrera? No puedo encontrarlo en SpanishDict, porque la entrada de "tiempo" no lo tiene en ese sentido, y tampoco la entrada de "time".

Answer 1

Pumpkin, En español se suele decir "tiempo total de carrera" o "tiempo en la competencia" o "tiempo en el maratón", dependiendo del tipo de deporte.

Answer 2

Hi! I was trying to research the answer to your question. Did you mean 'time' in this sense?

time as in the period of time one covered during a race (competition, session)?

If yes, I think the spanish word plazo would cover it.

Other related words are below (different meanings)

prueba contrarreloj- time trial like in sports

Se ha cumplido el plazo - time is up

Hope this helps!
