The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, Björn Hintzen crossed the line in 1:22:39: 429th of 1,208 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:12 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:56 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 766 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:58 slower here than at their other races.
