The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Pascal De Sousa finished 738th of 800 men in the Pro division at Lyon 2026, in 1:43:25.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 3% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 7:46 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Lyon cost the whole field time: about 0:35 more than the average race this season, going by 384 athletes who raced both. That was 8:27 off the time at Milan 2024.
