The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Eric MICHEL finished 114th of 364 men in the Open division at Beijing 2026, in 1:27:46, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:35 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:03 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Beijing gave the field time back: about 2:56 faster than the average race this season, by 546 athletes who raced both. That was 0:07 off the time at Bangkok 2026.
