The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:55:58 at Karlsruhe 2026 put Gauthier Birlinger 356th of 406 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:54. A harder second half: 2:41 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. 24:16 slower than at Berlin 2026, the previous Open race.
