The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Edward Perlstein crossed the line in 1:29:12: 175th of 440 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:55 quicker than the median and 123rd of 440. On the row the field had the edge, by 1:04.
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.
