The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hamburg 2026, Mathias Melzer crossed the line in 1:22:20: 400th of 1,103 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 95% of the field across all eight, against 28% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 3:06 quicker than the median and 25th of 1,103. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:22 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
