The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Chiba 2026, Junpei Shukawa crossed the line in 1:20:20: 180th of 927 men, faster than 81% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 89% of the field beaten on the runs, 64% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Chiba 2026 and Osaka 2026 were 2:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
