The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:21 at Chiba 2026 put 勇人 吉谷 199th of 299 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:39 better against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 10:22, behind 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Chiba 2026 and Osaka 2026 were 2:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
