The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Steven DeFontes crossed the line in 1:27:42: 221st of 626 men, faster than 65% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:37 ahead of the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:51. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Miami 2026 were 3:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
