The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Katowice 2026, Sam Vines crossed the line in 1:10:19: 107th of 859 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:34 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:24, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Katowice 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 2:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
