The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Matthew McReynolds crossed the line in 1:28:49: 138th of 335 men, faster than 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:29 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:39 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2024 were 6:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
