The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andre Schwarz finished 471st of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:28:14.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 36% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:32 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 3:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
