The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Geneva 2026, Michel Cherix crossed the line in 1:24:04: 190th of 408 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:32 quicker than the median and 41st of 408. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:30 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Geneva 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
