The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Patrick Spyra finished 132nd of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:13:22, faster than 86% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 71% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:51, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 1:29 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
