The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Kai Patalla at Cologne 2025: 1:02:54, 24th of 1,182 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 3:24 quicker than the median and 8th of 1,182. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:42 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2025 and Frankfurt 2024 were 2:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
