The race, in words
In the Pro division at Istanbul 2026, Hassan Alsaiqal crossed the line in 1:15:29: 109th of 222 men, faster than 51% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 32nd of 222. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:09 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 3:10 faster than the average race this season, by 134 athletes who raced both. That was 3:10 off the time at Sharjah 2025.
