The race, in words
Etienne Kirschner finished 843rd of 1,208 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, in 1:36:15.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:57 quicker than the median and 20th of 1,208. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:10 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.
