The race, in words
Ercan Çimenay finished 372nd of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:25:27.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:24 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Istanbul ran fast: the 324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:07 quicker here than at their other races.
