The race, in words
Justin Spielberg finished 550th of 686 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:39:39.
The runs carried this race: faster than 41% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 8% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 5:03. A harder second half: 3:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 2:44 slower at Berlin 2026 than at Berlin 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
