The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jesse Priester finished 237th of 259 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:55:39.
A station race more than a running one: 24% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:38. A harder second half: 7:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
4:02 faster than at Las Vegas 2026, the previous Open race.
