The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:42 at Lyon 2026 put Romain Epale 212th of 495 men in the Open division, ahead of 57% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 67% of the field across all eight, against 45% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:39 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 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.
