The race, in words
James Beck finished 230th of 626 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:28:45, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:51 quicker than the median and 174th of 626. Stronger after halfway: 1:47 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Washington DC ran fast: the 894 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:55 quicker here than at their other races. 12:14 slower than at London Excel 2025, the previous Open race.
