The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, Michael Bayer crossed the line in 1:20:08: 270th of 1,003 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:30 quicker than the median and 261st of 1,003. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:35 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:53 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 2:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
