The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Heidi Bartels crossed the line in 1:26:38: 194th of 1,029 women, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:47 quicker than the median and 198th of 1,029. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:38 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Boston 2025 were 5:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
