The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:10:53 at Helsinki 2026 put Thomas Schütz on the age-group podium: 3rd of 16 in the 50–54 age group.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:45 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:57 behind the median.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Helsinki gained about 3:35. 1:24 faster than at Karlsruhe 2024, the previous Pro race.
