The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2025, Eric Balguerie crossed the line in 1:10:52: 202nd of 1,442 men, faster than 86% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 98% of the field beaten on the runs, 52% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:19 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:47, ahead of 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2025 and Toulouse 2025 were 5:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
