The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2025, Mathias Kaak crossed the line in 1:16:27: 689th of 1,851 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:09 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2025 and Karlsruhe 2024 were 5:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
