The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicholas Link finished 166th of 406 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:27:21, faster than 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:44 quicker than the median and 32nd of 406. A harder second half: 1:42 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.
