The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:38 at Cologne 2026 put Alexander Sauer 255th of 924 men in the Open division, ahead of 72% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:38 quicker than the median and 75th of 924. A harder second half: 2:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:00, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 2:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
