Just 4 days after his second-place finish at Hyrox Grand Palais, Xavier Dufour has just delivered a top-tier performance in Lisbon. Coming within seconds of Julien Coquillaud-Salomon's French record: 54'26 vs 54'13
A World-Class Performance for Xavier Dufour
The Paris event is known to be less conducive to peak performances, and Xavier was undoubtedly keen to confirm his excellent form by delivering a world-class performance.
A strong runner, he maintained an average pace of 3'26 per km over the 8km. But most importantly, Xavier is gradually closing the gap on his weaknesses in the stations, completing the workouts in under 24 minutes. With very solid performances, particularly on the sled push (2'10), burpees (2'20), and lunges (2'38).
In terms of ranking, he easily dominated with a 3'30 lead and thus secured 105 valuable points for the Elite15 race next season.
His next solo race will be in Lyon to continue accumulating points for qualification to the first Elite 15 Major next season.
