The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Milan 2024, Luca Pianoforte crossed the line in 1:24:12: 120th of 302 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:04 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Milan 2024 and Rimini 2024 were 1:31 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
