The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Volker Schmitz took 3rd of 11 in the 50–54 age group at Frankfurt 2025, in 1:23:16.
The runs carried this race: faster than 67% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 27% on the stations. The sled push cost the most time: 2:09 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:49 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Frankfurt 2025 and Hamburg 2025 were 1:32 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
