The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Monterrey 2026, Ivan Mercado siordia crossed the line in 1:36:28: 527th of 1,279 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 37% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:06. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:16 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Monterrey 2026 and Guadalajara 2026 were 3:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
