The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Piergiorgio Pignata at Rome 2026: 1:10:26, 63rd of 642 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 97% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:51 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Rimini 2026 were 3:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
