The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Roman Schmitz finished 1,330th of 1,486 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2025, in 1:53:11.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 3:05 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:37, behind 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2025 and Berlin 2025 were 1:38 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
