The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Gdansk 2026, Philipp Holper crossed the line in 1:24:32: 559th of 1,349 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:37 on the median. The sled push cost the most time: 0:45 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:20 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gdansk 2026 and Riga 2026 were 1:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
