The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sheldon Kauitzsch finished 322nd of 653 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:35:11, faster than 51% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:20 quicker than the median and 121st of 653. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:02 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 5:28 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2024 were 5:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
