The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Björn Dillien finished 701st of 913 men in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:35:10.
Legs and stations told different stories: 46% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 3:38 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:58 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.
