The race, in words
1:38:38 at Istanbul 2026 put Josh Free 555th of 743 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:07 quicker than the median and 208th of 743. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:16 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Bologna 2026 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
