The race, in words
Benjamin Schoditsch finished 453rd of 913 men in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:23:21, faster than 50% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:54 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Helsinki gave the field time back: about 2:49 faster than the average race this season, by 434 athletes who raced both.
