The race, in words
Silja Pitkänen & Atte Ristanen finished 569th of 718 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:28:33.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 8% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:31 on the median. A harder second half: 1:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Helsinki ran fast: the 275 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:07 quicker here than at their other races.
