The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Kolja Friedel crossed the line in 1:24:51: 500th of 1,097 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:45 quicker than the median and 356th of 1,097. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:00 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:22 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
