The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Hanrahan finished 335th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:23:40, faster than 55% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 69% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 41% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:54 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
