The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:15:36 at Bordeaux 2026 put Laurent Desmars 113th of 515 men in the Open division, ahead of 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 56% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:45 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
