The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2025, Matthias Efenberger crossed the line in 1:16:25: 688th of 1,851 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:24 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin gave the field time back: about 3:21 faster than the average race this season, by 1,897 athletes who raced both.
