The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Paige Cotton crossed the line in 1:25:08: 73rd of 386 women, faster than 81% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:17 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:32 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:08 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
