The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hannover 2020, Matthias Lampe crossed the line in 1:23:34: 77th of 325 men, faster than 76% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 89% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:33. A harder second half: 3:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Hannover 2020 and Leipzig 2019 were 1:57 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
