The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Katowice 2026, Vesna Bartolcic & Marius Güra crossed the line in 1:11:23: 159th of 488 mixed teams, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:55 quicker than the median and 42nd of 488. A harder second half: 2:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice ran fast: the 260 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:52 quicker here than at their other races.
