The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Menant finished 778th of 1,513 men in the Open division at Lyon 2026, in 1:24:56.
The stations carried this race: faster than 78% of the field across all eight, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:02 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:47 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.
