The race, in words
Paweł Boryca finished 599th of 859 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:34:11.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:05. The race faded late: the second half went 1:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Katowice gained about 1:43.
