The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:32:55 at Washington DC 2026 put Eric Gustafson on the age-group podium: 3rd of 16 in the 55–59 age group.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:44 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
