The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mehdi Gondel finished 1,335th of 1,431 men in the Open division at Bordeaux 2025, in 1:46:20.
Legs and stations told different stories: 38% of the field beaten on the runs, 3% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 11:36. A harder second half: 12:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2025 and Rome 2025 were 1:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
