The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christopher Ault finished 374th of 653 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:39:32.
The runs carried this race: faster than 77% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 16% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 6:38 slower than the median. A harder second half: 9:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
