The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Paris 2025, Melvin Nidaud crossed the line in 1:19:39: 421st of 1,347 men, faster than 69% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:11 quicker than the median and 173rd of 1,347. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:48 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:14 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. 1:28 faster than at Bangkok 2025, the previous Open race.
