The race, in words
Tomasz Wieczorek finished 443rd of 859 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:24:57.
Legs and stations told different stories: 60% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:21 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 4:16 faster at Katowice 2026 than at Manchester 2026, a quicker course than most.
