The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2024, Benjamin COLCHEN crossed the line in 1:19:54: 212th of 809 men, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 95% of the field beaten on the runs, 37% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:16. A harder second half: 3:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Bordeaux ran slow: the 499 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:38 slower here than at their other races.
