The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Fawaz AlDakheel finished 577th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:40:50.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 3:06 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Istanbul gained about 3:07.
