The race, in words
Ira Kirschbaum finished 387th of 490 women in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:54:36.
Legs and stations told different stories: 27% of the field beaten on the runs, 1% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 3:02 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:01 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 376 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:02 slower here than at their other races. That was 1:06 off the time at Stuttgart 2024.
