The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2026, Jhon Ballarin crossed the line in 1:18:59: 148th of 515 men, faster than 71% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:11 quicker than the median and 117th of 515. Stronger after halfway: 1:26 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Bordeaux ran slow: the 1,153 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:48 slower here than at their other races. That was 3:19 off the time at Barcelona 2026.
