The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:18 at Cologne 2025 put Sandro Melchien 34th of 164 men in the Open division, ahead of 79% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:40 quicker than the median and 19th of 164. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:37 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2025 and Karlsruhe 2025 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
