The race, in words
In the Open division at Istanbul 2026, Jordan Rhoden crossed the line in 1:24:46: 359th of 743 men, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 35% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:13 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul ran fast: the 324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:07 quicker here than at their other races.
