The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Joelyann Valles Rivera crossed the line in 1:24:47: 106th of 648 women, faster than 84% of the field.
The sled pull was where this race was made, 2:39 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 6:15, ahead of 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 2:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
