The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, DAVID VALLEE crossed the line in 1:18:43: 242nd of 735 men, faster than 67% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 84% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:34 quicker than the median and 220th of 735. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:10 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 2:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
