The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:20 at Houston 2026 put Amber Pinder on the age-group podium: 3rd of 48 in the 16–24 age group.
A station race more than a running one: 95% of the field beaten on the stations, against 74% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 2:48 quicker than the median and 2nd of 386. A harder second half: 2:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Houston ran fast: the 654 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:02 quicker here than at their other races.
