The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:03:55 at Houston 2026 put Matt Lombardi on the age-group podium: 2nd of 68 in the 35–39 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:59 on the median. A harder second half: 1:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:03, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 1:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
