The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paolo Mecca finished in the top 10% of the field at Hamburg 2025, in 1:09:13 for 87th of 1,486 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:58 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:52 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:57, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2025 and Rimini 2025 were 1:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
