The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Benjamin Windmueller finished 239th of 1,006 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:13:36, faster than 76% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 61% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:06, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and St. Gallen 2026 were 4:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
