The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Mike Vella crossed the line in 1:21:12: 138th of 653 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:24 ahead of the median. The farmers carry cost the most time: 0:58 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:41 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Las Vegas 2026 were 2:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
