The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jeff Ball won the 35–39 age group at Houston 2026 in 1:03:42, first of 78.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:28 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:54 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:04, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
