The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2025, Michael Zimdars crossed the line in 1:16:19: 677th of 1,851 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 70% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 48% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:05. The race faded late: the second half went 2:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2025 and Cologne 2025 were 3:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
