The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, Valentine Karczewski crossed the line in 1:32:35: 395th of 964 women, faster than 59% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 79% of the field across all eight, against 38% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:49 quicker than the median and 100th of 964. Stronger after halfway: 1:44 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 1:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
