The race, in words
Marco Exel & Kilian Aegerter finished 170th of 250 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Hamburg 2025, in 1:19:37.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:11 from the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Hamburg ran fast: the 778 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:03 quicker here than at their other races.
