The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sirpa Huhtamella finished 268th of 354 women in the Open division at Hamburg 2023, in 1:38:53.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Hamburg ran fast: the 233 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:06 quicker here than at their other races. 7:00 faster than at Essen 2018, the previous Open race.
