The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:53 at Washington DC 2026 put Rafael Velasquez 93rd of 440 men in the Open division, ahead of 79% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 88% of the field beaten on the runs, 64% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 3:03 quicker than the median and 33rd of 440. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:44 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and New York 2026 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
