The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:21:03 at Izmir 2026 put Mert Eryol 163rd of 173 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 40% of the field across all eight, against 1% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:36 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 13:22 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Izmir 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
