The race, in words
Ahmed Mohammed finished 566th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:39:28.
Legs and stations told different stories: 42% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 3:07 faster than the average race this season, by 324 athletes who raced both.
