The race, in words
Eman Elsharkawy finished 66th of 416 women in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:20:45, faster than 84% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 93% of the field beaten on the stations, against 69% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:16 on the median. A harder second half: 1:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 2:43 faster than the average race this season, by 162 athletes who raced both.
