The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:49 at Shenzhen 2026 put Colin Walker on the age-group podium: 2nd of 32 in the 50–54 age group.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 68% on the stations. The sled pull was the standout, 0:59 quicker than the median and 295th of 1,284. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2026 and Chengdu 2026 were 3:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
