The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sandra Merkel finished 338th of 640 women in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:34:36.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:53 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 3:06 slower at Berlin 2026 than at Vienna 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
