The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, William Cheslet crossed the line in 1:21:53: 287th of 698 men, faster than 59% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 73% of the field across all eight, against 41% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:22 quicker than the median and 40th of 698. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:44 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Geneva 2025 were 3:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
