The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:09:21 at Beijing 2026 put 明 马 309th of 364 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 31% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:06 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Beijing ran fast: the 546 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:56 quicker here than at their other races.
