The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:50:58 at Houston 2026 put Justin McConnell 488th of 653 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 49% of the field across all eight, against 10% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:06 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
