The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kristian Paulic finished 888th of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 2:08:58.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 6:53 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 11:57 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
The field ran 2:21 slower at Cologne 2026 than at EMEA London Olympia 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
