The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Istanbul 2026, Joshua Steelesmith crossed the line in 1:12:00: 85th of 222 men, faster than 62% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 71% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:02 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Stockholm 2026 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
