The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Niall Mcsweeney finished 279th of 1,851 men in the Open division at Berlin 2025, in 1:08:58, faster than 85% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 95% of the field beaten on the runs, 67% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:01 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2025 and Karlsruhe 2025 were 5:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
