The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Katowice 2026, Václav Bureš crossed the line in 1:16:16: 227th of 859 men, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 52% on the stations. The sled push cost the most time: 0:50 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Katowice 2026 and Poznan 2025 were 3:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
