The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alexander Orthuber finished 1,111th of 1,311 men in the Open division at Vienna 2026, in 1:43:42.
A station race more than a running one: 30% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Vienna gave the field time back: about 0:32 faster than the average race this season, by 705 athletes who raced both. 0:33 faster than at Dublin 2025, the previous Open race.
