The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Delhi 2026, Deepak Minocha crossed the line in 1:55:22: 646th of 1,403 men, faster than 54% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Delhi 2026 and Delhi 2025 were 7:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
