The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:40 at Washington DC 2026 put Tony Lubs on the age-group podium: 2nd of 14 in the 50–54 age group.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 54% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:20. A harder second half: 1:17 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.
