The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Strömbergsson finished 232nd of 882 men in the Open division at Riga 2026, in 1:18:36, faster than 74% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:51 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:25 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Riga 2026 and Oslo 2025 were 3:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
