The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicolas Heling finished in the top 10% of the field at Cologne 2025, in 1:08:03 for 74th of 1,182 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 3:05 quicker than the median and 23rd of 1,182. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2025 and Rotterdam 2025 were 4:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
