The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:35 at Hamburg 2025 put Karsten Eichler 1,178th of 1,486 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 31% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:58 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:38 slower at Hamburg 2025 than at Berlin 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
