The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:31:21 at Cologne 2026 put Michael Schobben 918th of 924 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 11:00 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 14:46 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
