The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicolas Gaidos finished 68th of 591 men in the Open division at Sao Paulo 2026, in 1:14:14, faster than 89% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 96% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:27, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sao Paulo 2026 and Fortaleza 2026 were 1:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
