The race, in words
James Graham finished 565th of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:28:39.
Legs and stations told different stories: 45% of the field beaten on the runs, 21% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Bologna gained about 2:23. That was 9:06 off the time at Sydney 2025.
