The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hamburg 2023, Timo Baumgärtner crossed the line in 1:23:56: 306th of 737 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 65% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:01 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Hamburg gave the field time back: about 2:07 faster than the average race this season, by 488 athletes who raced both. That was 1:14 off the time at Karlsruhe 2023.
