The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Geneva 2026, Gavin Black crossed the line in 1:24:48: 666th of 1,414 men, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 71% of the field beaten on the stations, against 46% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:31 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:03 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Geneva ran slow: the 824 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:05 slower here than at their other races.
