The race, in words
Rachel de Jong finished 161st of 240 women in the Pro division at Houston 2026, in 1:40:23.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:56 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:04 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:17 faster at Houston 2026 than at Dallas 2025, a quicker course than most.
