The race, in words
1:41:10 at Katowice 2026 put Barbora Vrbovska 339th of 486 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:32 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice gave the field time back: about 1:15 faster than the average race this season, by 293 athletes who raced both.
