The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Isabel Gierok finished 90th of 356 women in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:26:46, faster than 75% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 61% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:48 quicker than the median and 88th of 356. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:07 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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 4:54 off the time at Vienna 2026.
