The race, in words
In the Pro division at Beijing 2026, Wataru Yamada crossed the line in 1:23:36: 147th of 339 men, faster than 57% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:37 quicker than the median and 103rd of 339. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:35 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Beijing gave the field time back: about 1:11 faster than the average race this season, by 162 athletes who raced both.
