The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jasper Gruhlke finished 670th of 1,003 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:36:21.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 105th of 1,003. A harder second half: 1:38 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.
