POST-RACE DATA ANALYSIS - BERLIN 2025 - Sawe's 17km Timem Trial: A Dominant Performance Against the Thermals

The defining data point from the Men’s race isn't the final time of 2:02:16, but the massive 17-kilometer solo effort that delivered it. In standard, cooler conditions (7°C–12°C), Sawe’s early aggression would have easily landed him below the World Record. The fact that he sustained a 2:02 pace for nearly half the race, entirely alone, while temperatures soared from a 22°C (71°F) start, speaks volumes about his engine and anaerobic efficiency. This wasn't a tactical race; it was a sheer power test against the clock and the heat. The nearly four-minute margin over second place confirms that Sawe’s strength profile is currently unmatched.
