The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Antonino Flores finished 245th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:19:33, faster than 80% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 88% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:56 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:38, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
