The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Josh Tomsheck crossed the line in 1:19:40: 122nd of 653 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 109th of 653. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:30 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Anaheim 2025 were 5:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
