The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:22:43 at Karlsruhe 2026 put Zachary Alexander 121st of 406 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:59 on the median. A harder second half: 1:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 835 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:02 slower here than at their other races. That was 2:09 off the time at Barcelona 2026.
