The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Istanbul 2026, Serkan Mışıl & Turgut Altun crossed the line in 1:15:25: 238th of 515 men's teams, faster than 54% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:04 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:36 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 2:51 faster than the average race this season, by 178 teams who raced both.
