The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Diego Flores Blanco finished 913th of 1,279 men in the Open division at Monterrey 2026, in 1:52:28.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:51 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Monterrey ran slow: the 435 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:35 slower here than at their other races.
