The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vera Salonen & Noora Koivisto finished 600th of 904 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:29:00.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:45 on the median. A harder second half: 4:07 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.
