The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bernhard Heiß finished 474th of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:28:17.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:12 quicker than the median and 128th of 924. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:04. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:54 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Cologne 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
