The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:05 at Istanbul 2026 put Matt Potts 197th of 222 men in the Pro division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 4:31 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
