The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Bauer finished 1,163rd of 1,412 men in the Open division at Puebla 2026, in 2:07:23.
The stations carried this race: faster than 54% of the field across all eight, against 6% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:46. A harder second half: 20:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Puebla 2026 and Guadalajara 2026 were 2:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
