The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Alex Mortensen crossed the line in 1:18:36: 221st of 1,243 men, faster than 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:35 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:45 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:54, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
