The race, in words
Patrick Urlings finished 651st of 1,208 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, in 1:29:39.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:26 quicker than the median and 87th of 1,208. Stronger after halfway: 3:10 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Karlsruhe cost the whole field time: about 0:58 more than the average race this season, going by 766 athletes who raced both. 1:50 slower than at Rotterdam 2024, the previous Open race.
