The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Rimini 2026, Melanie Birnbauer crossed the line in 1:24:27: 39th of 108 women, faster than 64% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:22 quicker than the median and 17th of 108. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:31 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
That was 2:49 off the time at Cologne 2026.
