The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Shepherd finished 186th of 408 men in the Open division at Geneva 2026, in 1:23:37, faster than 54% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 78% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 37% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:01 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:51 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Geneva 2026 and St. Gallen 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
