The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Donnelly finished 174th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:16:56, faster than 86% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:24 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
