The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rupal Patel finished 152nd of 170 women in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 2:04:44.
Legs and stations told different stories: 29% of the field beaten on the runs, 2% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:48 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 1:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
