The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:06 at Cologne 2026 put Michael Achsenick 682nd of 924 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:23. The race faded late: the second half went 6:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
