The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ricardo Pollet finished 687th of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:39:11.
A station race more than a running one: 38% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:17 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Karlsruhe 2025 were 3:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
