The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonas Gerlach finished 304th of 1,208 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, in 1:18:47, faster than 75% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 59% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:01 on the median. A harder second half: 1:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2025 and Frankfurt 2024 were 1:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
