The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mehdi Bensaber finished 335th of 587 men in the Open division at Paris 2025, in 1:30:29.
Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 28% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:42. A harder second half: 2:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Paris ran slow: the 1,951 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:11 slower here than at their other races.
