The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:13:54 at Shanghai 2026 put James Zhao 48th of 347 men in the Pro division, ahead of 86% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:30 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:47 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:57, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Shanghai 2026 and Shanghai 2025 were 1:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
