The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Brach finished 450th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:31:40.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 220th of 704. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:38.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and St. Gallen 2026 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
