The race, in words
1:18:59 at Gdansk 2026 put Mikko Tähkäpää 393rd of 1,349 men in the Open division, ahead of 71% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:19 quicker than the median and 156th of 1,349. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:07 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Gdansk 2026 and Helsinki 2026 were 1:30 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
