The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2025, Gillian Mcsherry crossed the line in 1:21:39: 179th of 590 women, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:37 on the median. A harder second half: 4:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin ran fast: the 950 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:56 quicker here than at their other races.
