The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, Axel David crossed the line in 1:15:54: 367th of 1,513 men, faster than 76% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 89% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 6:08, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 2:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
