The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Kiernan finished 470th of 913 men in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:23:54.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:58 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:36 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Helsinki ran fast: the 434 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:49 quicker here than at their other races.
