The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Beijing 2026, 谦 徐 crossed the line in 1:34:26: 313th of 665 men, faster than 53% of the field.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:34 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Beijing 2026 and Shenzhen 2025 were 6:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
