The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Bardakh finished 341st of 440 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:48:39.
On the sled push the field had the edge, by 4:34. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and New York 2025 were 1:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
