The race, in words
1:25:10 at Taipei 2025 put Charles Saudeau & Sebastien Alfonsi 149th of 302 men's teams in the Doubles Open division, ahead of 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:43 on the median. A harder second half: 2:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Taipei cost the whole field time: about 4:40 more than the average race this season, going by 170 teams who raced both.
