The race, in words
David Schauer finished 315th of 406 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:45:54.
Legs and stations told different stories: 45% of the field beaten on the runs, 17% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:20. A harder second half: 2:15 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.
