The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:48:48 at Karlsruhe 2026 put Matthias Klein 280th of 321 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 28% of the field beaten on the stations, against 8% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:38 faster at Karlsruhe 2026 than at Vienna 2026, a quicker course than most.
