The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Shenzhen 2026, Nicholas Chik crossed the line in 1:28:28: 445th of 1,284 men, faster than 65% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2026 and Taipei 2026 were 2:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
