The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Shenzhen 2026, Patrick Donnelly crossed the line in 1:19:31: 218th of 1,284 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 346th of 1,284. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2026 and Shanghai 2026 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
