The race, in words
Emma Ricketts finished 307th of 579 women in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:33:24.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:57 quicker than the median and 90th of 579. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:45 slower than the median.
Helsinki gave the field time back: about 2:57 faster than the average race this season, by 206 athletes who raced both.
