The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chaitanya Aggarwal finished 502nd of 609 men in the Open division at Delhi 2026, in 2:19:04.
Legs and stations told different stories: 33% of the field beaten on the runs, 13% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 4:47 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Delhi ran slow: the 620 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:56 slower here than at their other races.
