The race, in words
Sebastian Simkovic finished 92nd of 236 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:19:24, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:16 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Katowice gave the field time back: about 1:43 faster than the average race this season, by 713 athletes who raced both.
