The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:16 at Houston 2026 put Matt Raftery 431st of 653 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 45% of the field beaten on the runs, 20% on the stations. The sled push cost the most time: 3:03 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 8:41 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.
