The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stephan Schnippe finished 433rd of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:29:41.
Legs and stations told different stories: 59% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:27 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Istanbul gained about 3:07. That was 0:59 off the time at EMEA London Olympia 2026.
