The race, in three figures
The race, in words
William Steinmetz finished 176th of 495 men in the Open division at Lyon 2026, in 1:17:20, faster than 64% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:59 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Paris 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
