The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2024, benjamin laufer crossed the line in 1:20:16: 219th of 809 men, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:12 quicker than the median and 82nd of 809. A harder second half: 2:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2024 and Paris 2023 were 5:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
