The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:38 at Berlin 2025 put Paul O’Brien 1,220th of 1,851 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 50% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:53 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2025 and Vienna 2025 were 1:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
