The race, in three figures
The race, in words
书宏 葛 finished 420th of 665 men in the Open division at Beijing 2026, in 1:41:05.
A station race more than a running one: 60% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:07. A harder second half: 2:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Beijing gained about 2:56.
