The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2026, Merlin Gendreau crossed the line in 1:17:45: 349th of 988 men, faster than 65% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:44 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:09 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2026 and Nice 2026 were 2:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
