The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Helfrich finished 701st of 1,311 men in the Open division at Vienna 2026, in 1:27:06.
The stations carried this race: faster than 65% of the field across all eight, against 30% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 229th of 1,311. The race faded late: the second half went 3:52 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Vienna 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 1:19 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
