The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Rech finished in the top 10% of the field at Houston 2026, in 1:07:51 for 42nd of 1,243 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:11 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:58 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:46, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
