The race, in words
Michael Krauß finished 107th of 259 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:21:58, faster than 59% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:36 quicker than the median and 78th of 259. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:15 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:07 better against the middle of the field than before it.
The field ran 2:21 slower at Cologne 2026 than at EMEA London Olympia 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
