The race, in words
Cathal Ward & Mark Ward finished 196th of 233 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:22:45.
A station race more than a running one: 34% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:20 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin gave the field time back: about 0:27 faster than the average race this season, by 1,323 teams who raced both.
