The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Chiba 2026, Kotaro Ryota crossed the line in 1:31:33: 431st of 927 men, faster than 54% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 36% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:26 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 5:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
