The race, in words
Paul Berger finished 223rd of 913 men in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:15:26, faster than 76% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:54 on the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:17 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Helsinki ran fast: the 434 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:49 quicker here than at their other races.
