The race, in three figures
The race, in words
洪 左 finished 532nd of 665 men in the Open division at Beijing 2026, in 1:52:05.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:39 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.
