The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jerzy Bator finished 253rd of 317 men in the Pro division at Katowice 2026, in 1:25:55.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:36. A harder second half: 3:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice gave the field time back: about 2:29 faster than the average race this season, by 238 athletes who raced both. That was 0:08 off the time at Madrid 2025.
