The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Winter finished 940th of 1,208 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, in 1:40:51.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:13 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 8:18 worse 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. That was 17:46 off the time at London 2024.
