The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Melina Sakowicz took 3rd of 23 in the 40–44 age group at Cologne 2026, in 1:24:46.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:12 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:25 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 1:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
