The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:33:18 at Bologna 2026 put Anis Tals 772nd of 1,006 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:48 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Turin 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
