The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hamburg 2023, Andre Dirks crossed the line in 1:23:57: 308th of 737 men, faster than 58% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 86% of the field across all eight, against 36% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:38 quicker than the median and 39th of 737. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:48 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2023 and Hannover 2023 were 1:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
