The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bastian Rost finished 570th of 1,103 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2026, in 1:27:54.
Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 36% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:41 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Cologne 2026 were 2:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
