The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Helmke finished 1,270th of 1,851 men in the Open division at Berlin 2025, in 1:26:48.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:38. A harder second half: 3:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2025 and Hamburg 2024 were 4:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
