The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:15 at Hamburg 2026 put Roger Besse 330th of 1,103 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 78% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:29 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:51 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Helsinki 2026 were 2:00 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
