The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Oliver finished 182nd of 327 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:31:29.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:46 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:29. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
