The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Nowicki finished 801st of 1,003 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:45:49.
A station race more than a running one: 34% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:17 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
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 1:02 off the time at Katowice 2025.
