The race, in words
Shelley Lahti & Kaisu Soivio finished 530th of 904 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:26:31.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:37 on the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Helsinki gave the field time back: about 2:07 faster than the average race this season, by 250 teams who raced both.
