The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bakal Asrat took 2nd of 19 in the 45–49 age group at Washington DC 2026, in 1:09:42.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:35 quicker than the median and 15th of 327. A harder second half: 1:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:24, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Boston 2025 were 5:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
