The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:32:54 at Washington DC 2026 put Nicole Arnold 333rd of 1,029 women in the Open division, ahead of 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 54% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 222nd of 1,029. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 3:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
