The race, in words
In the Open division at Rimini 2026, Vincenzo Smecca crossed the line in 1:25:37: 671st of 1,482 men, faster than 55% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:29 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rimini ran slow: the 1,370 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:09 slower here than at their other races.
