The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:01:08 at Shenzhen 2026 put Oliver Marks on the age-group podium: 2nd of 303 in the 35–39 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 4:08 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:09 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:55, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2026 and Hong Kong 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
