The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:41 at Berlin 2025 put Elisabeth Giesbrecht & Swetlana Riechmann 442nd of 541 women's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin gave the field time back: about 3:54 faster than the average race this season, by 1,238 teams who raced both.
