The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Samuel finished 159th of 273 men in the Pro division at New York 2026, in 1:31:09.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:54. A harder second half: 9:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 14:53 in the roxzone was slower than 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both New York 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:22 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
