The race, in words
Julien Valles finished 330th of 1,062 men in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:17:31, faster than 69% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:58 on the median. A harder second half: 3:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:08 slower at Rome 2026 than at Mechelen 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
