The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Warsaw 2026, Paul James crossed the line in 1:21:55: 750th of 1,792 men, faster than 58% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 43% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:44.
Athletes who raced both Warsaw 2026 and Stockholm 2025 were 5:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
