The race, in three figures
The race, in words
56:09 won the Open division at Katowice 2026 for Aljaz Ploj, first of 236 men.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:21 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:32 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:25, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Katowice 2026 and Stockholm 2025 were 3:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
