The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:06:43 at Houston 2026 put Matthew Wood on the age-group podium: 2nd of 168 in the 30–34 age group.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 4:16 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:54 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:06, was faster than 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
