The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:50 at Poznan 2025 put John Kelly on the age-group podium: 3rd of 11 in the 60–64 age group.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 31% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:16 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Poznan gave the field time back: about 0:35 faster than the average race this season, by 826 athletes who raced both. 1:10 faster than at Dublin 2025, the previous Open race.
