The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, David Rouse crossed the line in 1:26:04: 112th of 335 men, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:05 ahead of the median. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 1:16.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Anaheim 2025 were 5:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
