The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cesar Lucero finished 372nd of 440 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:54:31.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:14 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 7:20 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Washington DC ran fast: the 894 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:55 quicker here than at their other races.
