The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rimini 2026, Mauro Mercadante crossed the line in 1:19:38: 398th of 1,482 men, faster than 73% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:35 on the median. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 0:39. Stronger after halfway: 2:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rimini 2026 and Turin 2026 were 1:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
