The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nathanael Paul finished 384th of 653 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:40:06.
The sled push was the standout, 0:38 quicker than the median and 120th of 653. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:40 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Atlanta 2025 were 4:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
