The race, in words
Melanie Zirzow took 2nd of 21 in the 40–44 age group at Hamburg 2026, in 1:19:55.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 1:19 quicker than the median and 32nd of 147. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:30.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 4:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
