The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Dechaux finished 1,305th of 1,397 men in the Open division at Paris 2025, in 1:55:46.
A station race more than a running one: 29% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:00 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 12:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Paris cost the whole field time: about 2:11 more than the average race this season, going by 1,951 athletes who raced both. 16:42 slower than at Paris 1 2025, the previous Open race.
