The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Dahm finished 645th of 1,003 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:35:24.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 20% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:46 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 3:31 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. That was 7:56 off the time at Mechelen 2026.
