The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Alva Grünke crossed the line in 1:34:12: 332nd of 889 women, faster than 63% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:02 quicker than the median and 234th of 889. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin ran slow: the 1,345 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:57 slower here than at their other races. That was 7:55 off the time at Turin 2026.
