The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Butscher finished 862nd of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 2:00:48.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 5:12. A harder second half: 2:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 9:54, behind 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Karlsruhe 2024 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
