The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Roberth Alejandro crossed the line in 1:28:26: 236th of 653 men, faster than 64% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:44 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Atlanta 2025 were 4:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
