The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lucas Smith finished 821st of 1,462 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:35:50.
Legs and stations told different stories: 58% of the field beaten on the runs, 28% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:18. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 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.
